Lookout PM: Police shoot man who was reportedly pointing shotgun

Good evening,

Eugene police shot a man today in the Whiteaker neighborhood who had been reported walking down the street brandishing a shotgun, police said. The man sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital. Jaime Adame has the story.

A man who had a cardiac arrest in June, while volunteering at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field, got a chance today to meet the EMTs who were quick to deliver CPR and possibly saved his life. Ashli Blow was there.

Oregon’s vote-by-mail rules are among those that could be affected by a case the U.S. Supreme Court has decided to hear. We won’t know how the high court rules until next year, but probably before Election Day 2026. Oregon Journalism Project explains.

A letter to the editor today questions Travel Lane County’s idea to create an indoor sports facility at the old Royal Caribbean call center building in Springfield.

Thanks to fast-acting EMTs, Dan Pritchard survived a cardiac arrest at the NCAA Track and Field Championships. Months later, he reunited with the team to thank them in person — a meeting that helped highlight the importance of rapid response to cardiac arrest.
